Skyward by Brandon Sanderson
4.0
I personally love the sci-fi fantasy feel, but it did feel a little slow for me at the start. I love the way Spensa (protagonist) is developed. Excited for the second one!
Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
5.0
Unexpected ending! Beautiful imagery of the swamp, swamp critters; interlaced with an intriguing mystery. Adults only: some sexual material
The Neverland Inn by K.C. Grant
2.0
I enjoyed this book the same way I enjoy Christmas Hallmark movies. Predictable, not the best writing, but a cute, innocent love story. Quick read.
Educated by Tara Westover
4.0
I loved and hated this book. Incredibly frustrating, while expanding my own ideas about how influential gaining an education is. Overall I would recommend it, but not as a light read.
Black Enough: Stories of Being Young & Black in America by Ibi Zoboi
3.0
There were a lot of emotional entries some of which made me uncomfortable, which is kinda the point of young black teens sharing their stories. I gained a appreciation and respect for those that endure racism and prejudice even today; although I didn't finish every individual story. Some topics are very serious and not appropriate for children: sexual content.
A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
5.0
Made me laugh and cry. Ove is the kind of old man that is so grumpy and so lovable. The writing is clever and fun to read.
